Kitchen Tips

Bison is an exciting and healthier departure from standard beef burgers—when grilling, sear the outside, then slow down the cooking to minimize loss of moisture.

Burger builds with lean bison patties benefit from other ingredients that bring forward moisture and fat for a fuller mouthfeel.
